This Golden Retriever Thinks She’s a Cat—Maple’s Viral TikTok Will Make You Laugh Out Loud
Some people are dog people, some are cat people—but what if you could have the best of both worlds? You probably didn’t think it was possible but there exists a dog with cat-like tendencies. A Golden Retriever called Maple has turned into a viral sensation on TikTok for essentially being a cat-dog. (watch the TikTok below)
In a recently uploaded TikTok video from @thegoldenbreakfastclub, viewers see the 4-year-old Golden hilariously doing things that you would normally associate with a cat instead of a dog. Apparently, Maple was raised by Waffles, an 8-year-old polydactyl cat, which made her pick up many of her feline sibling’s habits and preferences.
Golden Retriever Enjoys Cat Toys More Than Dog Toys
Residing in Kansas City, Missouri, Maple’s parents have documented several instances of their dog behaving like a cat. For instance, she likes perching on the highest point of the couch, even though her large body isn’t particularly comfortable there.
Additionally, Maple loves to use her paws in playful “fights” with Waffles, leading to adorable paw matches between the two. And if you would pass by their house, you would probably find the canine companion sitting on the windowsill, just like a kitty cat.
It doesn’t end there. Maple would rather play with cat toys than dog toys. She also prefers to sit inside boxes even if she can’t fit in. Moreover, rather than splooting on the floor, this dog’s favorite spot is to sit on the dining room chairs.
